We had one many moons ago but we discontinued the service because we didn't have the resources at the time to dedicate towards making it as useful as we wanted.

started a few days ago, when I go to codeproject.com I get an error dialog:

Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://www.codeproject.com/.
Operation aborted

I looked in the cache and I see:

navmenu_ie6.min.css from http://s.codeproject.com/App_themes/Std/CSS/
beacon.js from http://b.scorecardresearch.com/

downloaded and accessed with the current timestamp...

(FYI, this post is from firefox)

There's the problem. Need to remove that extraneous "e".

We don't officially support IE6 but I'll try and get some spare time this weekend to dig in and see if I can find the issue.

Link pasting

I don't know if it's only me (or because I've just switched to Opera), but it seems like pasting links into a forum message no longer generates a clickable link code, it simply pastes as normal text...??!??

No it isn't just you. Opera could well be the one browser that really tries to implement the standards, however CP doesn't like Opera at all, and ignores all paste operations, which is quite unfortunate.

Really?

The W3C standard says[^]
When the user initiates a paste operation, the implementation fires a clipboard event named paste. The event fires before any clipboard data is inserted

Here's a summary of Opera's support for Paste events: http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/events/cutcopypaste.html[^]. Note the big red "no" against Opera. Opera doesn't fire the standard Paste event which makes it difficult, if not impractical, to support.

interesting link.
It is too bad Opera doesn't support OnPaste event and the like. Have you talked to them?
You could still handle CTRL/V by processing OnKeyDown, couldn't you? (and that might work the same for all browsers)

I suppose you think nothing is quite impossible. Smile | :)

You could switch back to an updated version of what you used before. Just a thought. Smile | :)

I used Firefox, but it seems to have some memory leak. It hogs a hell of a lot of memory, and often it freezes the whole computer for 10-15 seconds at a time. EXTREMELY annoying.

So I'm not too keen on that. On the other hand, I'm not perfectly satisfied with Opera either, but at least it doesn't freeze the computer.

I don't remember which browser does it, but I remember this happening a few times too. Nothing on my computer works (except for my mouse, I think) for about 15 seconds, then everything just starts working again. Very annoying.

Same here. I switched away from FF to OP a couple of months ago, only to discover to my dismay that CP and OP don't play together nicely. so now I kind of ran out of decent browsers ...

Time to build your own. Lucra?

I actually did look into that a couple of years ago, and decided not to do it at that time. I trust building a decent browser is doable; the big challenge is making it deal reasonably well with all those web pages that deviate from the standards and have been tweaked to look good on official, basically defective, browsers. The heritage of IE seems eternal.

I also have a whole list of functions I would like to add, things that are lacking badly, both for productivity and for security.
